SAFT (Simple Asynchronous File Transfer) is a new Internet protocol for
|
|
|
|
|
sending files and messages asynchronously. This is useful, because you don't
|
|
|
|
|
have to log on to the receiving site to do it. You simply tell the
|
|
|
|
|
sendfile program a file name and where to send it:
|
|
|
|
|
"sendfile your_file user@somedomain" (Of course there are options).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The package includes: A sendfile client (which sends files), a sendmsg
|
|
|
|
|
client (which sends messages), a receive client (which copies files from
|
|
|
|
|
the local sendfile spool to the recipient's current directory) and a
|
|
|
|
|
sendfiled server (which receives files and messages and stores them in the
|
|
|
|
|
local sendfile spool).

NOTE: If you wish to use fetchfile (which is an optional extension to
|
|
|
|
|
sendfile,) you need to have pgp installed, too.
